Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well again to ensure that the sugar dissolves completely.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink cold.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
